If you are hosting an event like that I would suggest using the WSOP blind schedule,you probably won't get past level 17 or so.

As far as your time levels I think they should either all be the same or at least let the earlier levels last longer than the later levels. I use 15min you can use 20, or even 30 which is a little kinder to the better players(don't have to count on luck as much when the levels are longer)

I would make all the rounds the same amount of time. 20 mins. is not bad. If you cahnge the time I would make it longer not shorter. If longer 30 mins.

[captkickass]

using this blindschedule how long would you expect the game to ask

[Buzzerbeater]

I think 15 minutes is too short.  I think you have to do MINIMUM 20 minutes.  You'll be lucky to get 5 or 6 hands in at 15 minute levels.  Especially if you have one deck per table and some slow shufflers.
